What anime are you watching?

[MarcusCole]

most of this is dub btw:

Blasphemy!!!

Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion
Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 (up to episode 14 o.0 need to finish this one)

[color=lime] Yes, you need to finish this. NOW!

In lime.

Also I just started watching Buso Kenkin today, mainly because the original manga is by Nobuhiro Watsuki (Kenshin), so I'll wait a little longer to make a decision on this one.

When you're done and still crave for more, I strongly suggest you to watch the live action. It's one of the few live action that are really good. Actually, it might be better than the anime which is quite a feat considering how good the anime is.

That's a big call Borro, the anime is excellent and easily one at the top of my slice of life* list, next to Mushishi and Spicywolf easily. Sadly gonna have to check out the live action when my internet is uncapped next month *curses **** aussie ISP's and their download caps..*

*hrmm.. maybe not quite "slice-of-life", might be the wrong term but i cant for the life of me remember what sub-genre that is.. other than 'awesome non-action anime'.

I know! It's on top of my best anime ever too, which is why I was so surprised to find the live action that good. Pretty much everyone I know of either loved or preferred the live action. It's sillier than the anime - it's more of a comedy - so put yourself in that mindset and you'll enjoy it thoroughly.

On my side, I'll have to watch Mushishi. You're like the fourth person in two weeks to praise it.

Ya. Spice & Wolf isn't really a slice of life, considering it involves a wolf goddess or something like that. I get what you mean.

[Otherworld]

Seems there's a lot of responses with a lot of good taste.

I watched those except Voices of a distant star... Maybe. Did it involve someone texting over long distances? If so, I saw it a few years ago.

You're correct. That's the one.

@Borroro: I know the director has a lot of similar movies and I'll watch all of them, but there's so much to watch and so little time.

Series/Movies I still have to watch are:

Bleach
Death Note
.Hack
Samurai Champloo
A few of studio Ghibli (Porco rosso on the top of my head)
Evangelion
Gundam series
5 cm per second and some other films by the same director
Naruto (started this one but never finished)

and anything in this top 50 that I like : http://www.japanator.com/japanator-s...-1-12913.phtml

Conclusion: Will probably be watching anime for at least 5 years of my life.

[Hendrik]

This thread made me dig out my antique copies of Star Blazers and Robotech.

Thanks for the fun, for a change, flashback...

[Myrdinn]

Funniest one would be History Strongest Disciple Kenishi, worth a lot of laugh.

Deep and gore and philosophical is Berserk

Gore only is Afro Samourai :P

Kenshin is also very good as humor/action

Politic would be Gundam Wing

Stupid but hell of a laugh humor would be Those who hunt elve

Good on acid trip would be Serial Experimental Lain (it is like and acid trip without acid :P)

I have much more anime I liked, but will stop at that! Thing is I like manga more than anime, and right now One Piece, Bakuman, Wolf Guy, Fairy Tale, The Breaker, etc are some of the good ongoing series

[Seikojin]

Reading Bleach and Naruto mangas every Thursday.


...snip...

+1 for the Naruto. Bleach never caught my interest. Ironically I read One piece then as well.

Chrono Crusade was fun
Elfen leid was awesome (creeps everyone out though)
Air Master (I think a different one than what is currently popular)
Grappler Baki

I can't beleieve someone else mentioned Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I love that anime and was saddened when my outlets stopped carrying new releases of it.

I am a huge DB nerd, so all of that.

So yeah, pretty much what's out there and has more action than panties. LOL

[DoctorWhofan]

Reading Bleach and Naruto at www.mangastream.com

Watching Bleach and Naruto every week along with DragonBall Z Kia.

GOD I HATE AMERICANIZED ANIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It just sucks so bad compared to what they really are saying!

DZK is brainwashing. And stupid. It's the old series with new dub and new "One Piece" style opening.

Trigun
FMA: brotherhood
Dragonball Kai
Gundam Wing

[Cam_Neely]

The little ninja

When They Cry, gotta say this is one of the more disturbing anime I've ever seen. It's so **** cute and out of no where people start having heads bashed in with baseball bats... ***, lol. So far really enjoying, can't wait to get to the second season to see what the hell is actually going on.

At the moment, I'm following FMA: Brotherhood and trying to get caught up on Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei.
I think I might get sucked into watching Busou Renkin a second time -- my fiancée has been reading the Kenshin manga and she just found out about Watsuki's involvement in BR.

I've also been meaning to check out the redone Evangelion -- was it just a series of OVA's / films this time? I haven't looked into it extensively yet.

It's sillier than the anime - it's more of a comedy - so put yourself in that mindset and you'll enjoy it thoroughly..

I will definitely be checking this out ASAP, cheers for the heads-up.

On my side, I'll have to watch Mushishi. You're like the fourth person in two weeks to praise it.

.

I can't recommend Mushishi enough. It's fairly slow paced and episodic without a real over-arching plot, but the production values and just the general atmosphere of the show, not to mention the underlying themes on (and im "intellectualizing" here) co-existence and on the limits of human knowledge (if you like your anime with a side of this ), are excellent and easily make up for it. If you've ever seen Kino no Tabi and enjoyed it you'll really like Mushishi.

In a similar vein is Natsume Yujinchou and the sequel Zoku Natsume Yujinchou. Not quite as polished as Mushishi but definitely enjoyable.

Oh, and i dont think anyone's mentioned any of the three seasons of Aria yet.. another excellent slow paced show.. relaxing slice-of-lifer with an awesome soundtrack.

The rebirth of Eva (iirc) is a tetralogy of feature films (i think theyre 90-100 mins long) that basically retells the Eva storyline.. there are some added scenes which help explain alot of ambiguities as mentioned before, and some of the characters are subtly different, plus the second movie begins to deviate from the original quite radically. So far theres only 2 movies, personally, and if it makes any sense, i'm enjoying watching the rebirth movies more.. but i find that it doesnt quite have the same depth of the original. Granted it's still only half complete so i can't say too much.

[DoctorWhofan]

Bleach and Inuyasha are both subtitled on Hulu, if that's what you mean. I guess I don't really know the difference that much since I have either just watched anime on TV or bought the DVDs from Amazon or wherever.

I agree mostly with watching subtitled versions. Sometimes though (especially when I'm dealing with the baby), I can't pay attention and read everything, so watching a dubbed version is nice in those cases where I can easily listen but can't necessarily be constantly watching the screen. Besides, there are a couple really good English voice actors (like Steve Bloom). But, there are also a lot of bad ones...

I love Chris Patton (Sousake Sagara From FMP!)

Loved Richard Hayworth's (Kenshin)

But the best is gotta be the voice actor for Jinai from Wanderers (El-Hazard) series...His laugh...OMG!

ANd Kurz and Edward's voice actor too. Can't remember the name off hand.

[Drakos]

The only stuff I will watch is Ranma 1/2.

[quietkey0]

I only made it through the first page, and seen a lot of greats posted, but I never saw Death Note. FLCL/Evangelion/Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi/This Ugly Yet Beautiful World (in otherwords, anything made by Gainax) are all awesome, although outside of Evangelion not as widely know. Saiyuki is an awesome series, and I've enjoyed almost all of the various Gundam series. If you like fighting and fanservice, I'd definitely recommend Ikki Tousen, which is (kinda) about the Three Kingdoms fighters, only reincarnated into high schoolers in Japan.

That's a good start of recommendations, at least! Oh, yes, if you like Dragonball/Z/GT/Kai, you might also dig YuYu Hakasho, although the first season is a little bit slow.

[Maxelcat]

Isn't it just a remastered version?

Better. its a new retelling.
